About Immigration to Israel

Aliyah: /ä-lE-'yä/
Function: noun
Etymology: 'alIyAh, from Hebrew, ascent, rise, advance, progress: the immigration of Jews to Israel, the return
of the Jewish people to their homeland.

In 1950, two years after its independence and five years after the murder of six million European Jews, the Israel legislature passed what is still its most important law: “Every Jew has the right to immigrate to this country.” They said, never again. They said, after 2000 years of wandering, we are home.
